Mr. Candidate:
How do you intend carrying on your
campaign? Are you going to oil up
the steam roller and use the same old
cheap political methods? Are you go
ing to rely on some political machine
or organization to elect you. or are
you going to come before the. voters
and let them judge you on your
merits? The time is ripe for candi
dates to come out and take a stand
for clean politics. The Nebraskan
will publish on Thursday the state
ment of all candidates who intend to
refrain from electioneering on the
campus on election day.
To the Voters:
Isn't it about time that University
men and women began to exercise
their individuality in politics and re
fuse to let some "would be" politician
carry their votes in his pocket. There
are a number of individuals about the
campus who boast of the number of
votes they control. There are seniors
who for four years have been voting
as some friend told them to vote. As
a result there have been machines and
near machines galore, while the merits
of the candidates have been minor
issues. Investigate; exercise your
judgment; vote for the best man.
Don't pledge your vote to any one un
til you have considered all candidates.
Remember, any candidate or any of
his friends who dares to inject the
"frat" or "barb' Issue Into the cam
paign is Insulting your intelligence
and does not merit your consideration.

C. S. HOBSON, Chairman.
A call has been issued for 3,000 col
lege men to volunteer in the war
against John Barleycorn. The Prohi
bition National Committee with head
quarters in Chicago, plan to enlist 2.000
of these men by June 1st. 1915. and
the remainder within the year follow
ing. Fifteen special secretaries are
now traveling among the colleges and
universities of the country enlisting
young men for the campaign.
The plan of work is one w'lich has
been tried on a small scale during the
past ten years with great success. Dur
ing this time about 250 college men
have been employed in various sec
tions of the country, and the results of
their work have been so encouraging
that those in charge of the national
prohibition movement have decided to
enlist enough men to cover the entire
country by a house to house canvass.
The plan of work will consist of in
terviewing every voter and securing
his pledge, if possible, to support only
those candidates and parties commit
ted to national prohibition. Theoretic
ally the campaigners will ring every
door bell In the United States, prac
tically much of the actual campaigning
will be done by volunteer organiza
tions affected by the campaigner. In
addition to enrolling voters it is
planned to launch a great national
monthly prohibition paper and to get
a subscription list of 5,000,000. the
largest in the history of newspaper
publication. Each voter who enrolls
will be asked to pay ten cents for a
year's subscription to this paper. In
case he does not do so, his paper will
be paid for from a fund set aside for
that purpose.
As a practical illustration of the re
sults of this sort of campaigning, the
following figures were given for Min
nesota: In 1904, without the aid of
workers the prohibition vote was
4,000. In 1906 after four months of
campaigning by six young men it was
raised to 12.000. In 1908 after, three
months of campaigning by sixteen men
it was 32,000. In 1912 after four
months of campaigning by fifty men it
wad 55.000. Prohibitionists have been
elected to both houses of the Minne
sota legislature since 1906. There are
at present eight prohibitionists holding
seats In that state.
The plan is now to enlist 3,000 young
men at army wages, $25.00 per month
and expenses. The term of service
on this basis being until the organizer
has enrolled 1,666 voters. When each
of 3,000 men shall have secured his
quota, the total will be 5,000,000 voters
enrolled, which will be a sufficient
number to insure national prohibition.
The average young man will enroll
his quota in from sixty to ninety days.
Some men will do it in one-half the
time; 5,000 have been enrolled at one
meeting.
Announcement
I hereby announce myself as a can
didate for Sophomore president for
the second semester, subject to the
will of the voters of that class.
